Chapter 36

Shimura Danzo left the information behind and walked away, taking with him any tangible evidence of their meeting. Hanzo was furious, his face contorted with rage.

*Who does he think I am? His subordinate?*

Hanzo wanted nothing more than to cut Danzo down or douse him with poison, but he couldn't afford to make that move. Danzo wouldn't have come to the Rain Village without ensuring he had leverage or an escape plan. His confidence made it clear—Hanzo had no real...

Chapter 35

Tsunade slapped the table and raised her voice, "The Land of Rain has a unique geographical position. It borders the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth. If we send forces there, we'll provoke not only the Sand Village but also the Rock Village. Will Ohnoki just sit back and watch?"

The Third Hokage shifted his attention to Nara Shikako, silently asking for his input.

Nara Shikako stood up, a calm smile on his face. "Tsunade-sama, you're right. Sending for...

Chapter 34

Shinki wouldn't take the jokes about sharing his food too seriously, nor would he foolishly agree to them. It wasn't that he was stingy; cooking for too many people was simply too much trouble. Plus, he couldn't keep using Kushina's "small treasury" to subsidize meals for the entire camp.

The New Year had finally arrived, and the ninjas at the camp used their limited resources to throw a small party. Shinki, however, chose not to join in the festivities.

"Plop!" 

Chapter 33

"Simple treatments and surgeries are not an issue, Captain. Don't worry, I'm just not fit for combat right now, but that doesn't mean I can't use ninjutsu," Shinki reassured.

In reality, Shinki wasn't significantly affected. As long as he avoided direct exposure to strong light, he could manage everything else, including medical ninjutsu and basic combat. Overstating his condition was a strategy to project vulnerability.

He couldn't be certain whether there were any ...

Chapter 32

Tsunade didn't give much thought to the implications of her brief visit to the border camp.

A longer stay would have certainly caused rumors and disruptions, but who would dare complain about her staying for just one night?

"Is Tsunade gone?" 

As Shinki stepped out of the medical room and saw that he was alone, Honda and Sarutobi Mishima approached him.

"She left early this morning," Shinki confirmed.

He offered no explanation for Tsunade's visit, and...

Chapter 31

Shinki raised a finger at Tsunade, saying, "If the price is right, I think Hanzo, with all his ambition, wouldn't mind collaborating with Shimura Danzo. With his skill, sneaking in for an assassination would be easy, and most would be powerless to stop him."

Shimura Danzo couldn't act directly; the risk of exposure was too great. If it ever leaked that he had tried to assassinate a fellow Konoha shinobi, he'd be in deep trouble.

This was precisely why the Third Hokage would...

Chapter 30

The standoff was between members of the same family.

The Daimyo family and the Senju clan were related, making Tsunade's visit seem natural and expected as the New Year approached. No one could find fault with it.

Moreover, it was under the recommendation of Mito Uzumaki.

The next day, Tsunade, maintaining a casual demeanor, visited the Hokage's office before leaving the village to head to the Daimyo's residence.

The Third Hokage supported this visit wholehearte...

Chapter 29

The snow shone brightly under the dim light, mingling with the rain to create a glistening, slushy mess. Sarutobi Mishima glanced at the mix of snowflakes and rain before stepping inside the wooden house and closing the door behind him.

Shinki pulled out two bottles of fruit wine he had brought from the village and invited Mishima to sit down.

"Most places are already blanketed in snow. Only the unique geography of the Land of Rain prevents heavy snowfall. Still, this sleet...

Chapter 28

"Hello, everyone. My name is Hyuga Shinki. Nice to meet you all."

A group of ninjas were busy looking for the medical specialist in the crowd. Unable to stand by any longer, Shinki stepped forward and introduced himself.

"Move along, we're looking for the medic. Why is someone from the Hyuga clan here?"

"Wait, what Hyuga clan? Look at his eyes."

Everyone paused, noticing the anomaly. There was no Hyuga member with eyes that looked like Shinki's. They all stared ...

Chapter 27

The Third Hokage did not fully understand what Shimura Danzo was planning, but he felt the need to caution him not to create trouble, as it could bring harm to everyone.

"Sacrifice me for a kid with a white-eye degeneration issue?" Danzo slammed his fist on the table, eyes burning with anger. "I just don't want to see him in the village. If he leaves, I won't pursue him any further."

The Third Hokage didn't trust a word Danzo said. Danzo's efforts to drive Shinki out of the...

Chapter 26

Shinki ignored Tsunade and cut a piece of meat for himself, sitting next to Kushina and eating together.

In addition to the meat, he also prepared fruit salad and juice.

There were also vegetables to cut through the richness of the meal.

Despite being woken up early in the morning to buy ingredients, in such weather, gathering around the fire and enjoying the fragrant barbecue created a great atmosphere for everyone.

To ensure that a certain someone who usually ...

Yo 👋

Hey Guys, sorry for the delay over the past couple days. I’ve been busy with some personal projects. I’ll be doing a mass upload on here tonight 👍

Chapter 25

The paycheck had arrived, and not only was Tsunade feeling confident, but even Shinki felt a bit of excitement. Of course, Shinki didn't plan to visit the casino; instead, he wanted to purchase high-quality materials and parts for puppet-making.

He wasn't one to recklessly splurge on luxuries or gamble his earnings away.

Despite the few puppet ninjas in Konoha, the village had official channels for acquiring materials. 

After work, Shinki said to Tsunade, "You go...

Chapter 24

"It's fine," Tsunade said, putting away the little book and waving to Kushina. "Go to your room and rest. Your brother Nawaki made a small mistake, and I'm handling it."

Kushina, still young and innocent, shouldn't be exposed to such things. Otherwise, Nawaki would get into even more trouble, and Tsunade herself would face consequences.

"Oh." Kushina cast Nawaki a sympathetic glance but didn't dare to ask for leniency. She obediently returned to her room.

Once Kushina...

Chapter 23

Pushing away the book handed to him by Nawaki, Shinki turned and walked into the kitchen. He needed to talk to Tsunade tomorrow, and he had to find a way to beat his brother soon.

Seeing Shinki ignore him and head straight for the kitchen, Nawaki worried that he might go to complain, so he followed him.

"Shinki, we're friends! You can't go and tell my sister!"

After washing the rice, adding water, and putting it on the stove, Shinki turned around and said, "So, you wa...

Chapter 22

The Third Hokage hoped Utatane Koharu and Mitokadu Homura would take this matter seriously and not support Shimura Danzo to avoid causing more embarrassment for everyone.

"Don't worry, Hiruzen. We understand the seriousness of the situation, and I doubt he has the audacity to come to me for help," Utatane Koharu said, her frustration with Danzo evident.

Even if Danzo approached her, Koharu was resolved not to assist him.

Only Homura might have been a potential ally fo...

Chapter 21

Utatane Koharu was already fed up with Shimura Danzo's antics. She wouldn't defend him, and her thoughts aligned closely with those of the Third Hokage.

Shimura Danzo had grown reckless and needed a period of enforced calm.

Otherwise, if Uzumaki Mito heard of today's events, there would be far-reaching consequences.

Good! Very good!!

Shimura Danzo seethed inwardly, feeling like a fool, abandoned and isolated. Glaring at Koharu and Mitomon Homura with rage-filled...

Chapter 20

"It's time to eat, Mito-sama."

Shinki, temporarily conscripted as the cook, called out, still puzzled about why he had been brought here. Was this really just about making dinner?

"Shinki!" Kushina's eyes lit up as she bounded toward him, and Nawaki, who was still rubbing his sore ear, perked up with curiosity.

It had been a long time since they'd had a guest at home, and having Kushina's friend there was especially surprising. Nawaki couldn't quite wrap his head arou...

Chapter 19

Tsunade, who was on her way to her room, halted mid-step and turned back, eyes wide with disbelief. "Grandma, what nonsense are you saying?!"

"..."

Shinki found himself at a loss for words. He glanced at Tsunade, silently pleading for her to step in and defuse the situation. He felt out of his depth with Uzumaki Mito.

To prevent her grandmother from saying anything else outrageous, Tsunade hurried back.

"Grandma, I brought him here like you asked. If you have so...

Chapter 18

"Heh…"

Five hundred thousand ryo.

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, bemused by Tsunade's confidence in setting such a high commission. He took the scroll and skimmed it.

"Hyuga Shinki, the one you took under your wing? I recall he has bloodline degeneration."

Orochimaru's keen memory didn't fail him as he recognized the name.

"What do you mean 'took under my wing'? I didn't officially take him in. I just taught him whenever I had spare time, and it turns out...

Chapter 17

The ninjas from the Mission Department didn't question why they needed to consult Tsunade first before approaching Shinki for confirmation.

"Yes, Hokage-sama," they replied, and quickly left the Hokage's office, heading for the medical department.

Following orders was routine; thinking too deeply about them wasn't.
